WEBVTT >> YOU GOT A BUNCH OF STUFF HANGING FROM YOUR MIRROR, YOU CANNOT -- CHINH: THIS CRUISER CAM SHOWS A TRAFFIC STOP IN PAPILLION, IN MARCH OF 2010. LEADING TO AN ARREST, THEN CONFUSION, OVER THIS MAN'S IMMIGRATION STATUS. WHICH, IN TURN, LEADS TO JAIL TIME. MIKE: HE GAVE INFORMATION THAT WAS CONFLICTING ABOUT HIS IDENTITY, AND ABOUT HIS CITIZENSHIP STATUS CHINH: THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS, FROM SIX YEARS AGO, IS STILL IN QUESTION. AMY: HE STILL HAS SORT OF A PSYCHIATRIC, TRAUMATIC REACTION TO WHAT HAPPENED. CHINH: AMY MILLER, WITH THE ACLU, SUED SARPY COUNTY AND AN IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT AGENT ON BEHALF OF RAMON MENDOZA, IN 2013. BUT LAST THURSDAY, SENIOR U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE JOSEPH BATAILLON DISMISSED THE CASE SAYING THAT "THE LENGTH OF THE DETENTION, BALANCED AGAINST GOVERNMENTAL INTERESTS, WAS NOT OVERLY LONG. AND THE REGRETTABLE MISTAKES IN PROPERLY IDENTIFYING MENDOZA WERE RECTIFIED AT THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY." END QUOTE. THE JUDGE ALSO SAYS MENDOZA PUT HIMSELF IN JEOPARDY OF ARREST AND MISIDENTIFICATION BY DRIVING IN AN UNLAWFUL MANNER. WITHOUT REGISTRATION, PROOF OF OWNERSHIP, DRIVER'S LICENSE, OR VALID PHOTO IDENTIFICATION. HE'D BEEN AT THE SARPY COUNTY JAIL BEFORE, SEEN HERE IN THIS BOOKING PHOTO. THE ACLU STILL ALLEGES THE CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY FOR THIS NATURALIZED CITIZEN IS A VIOLATION OF HIS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AMY: MERE SUSPICION THAT SOMEONE MIGHT BE UNDOCUMENTED IS NOT ENOUGH. CHINH: AND WHILE THE ACLU PLANS TO APPEAL THE JUDGE'S DECISION, SARPY COUNTY OFFICIALS WANT TO PREVENT MISTAKES IN THE FUTURE. MIKE: THE JUDGE DID RECITE SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE RECORD KEEPING WE HAVE, AND WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT SOME OF THAT. IT MAY HAVE BEEN RESOLVED. THIS DID HAPPEN IN 2010. CHINH: IN SARPY COUNTY, CHINH
